The Health and Care Systems group’s main aims are to facilitate the exchange of information about current work on health and care systems topics amongst practitioners and to disseminate information about data science and OR studies to doctors, nurses, administrators and other health service workers.
The group also serves as a forum for the discussion of matters of interest to data science and OR scientists and their clients in health and care systems.
In pursuit of these objectives the group arranges conferences, meetings and workshops with a majority of their efforts concentrated on four one-day conferences per year: past endeavours include a series of meetings on various health-service data science and OR applications and a workshop that led to the special interest group’s submission to the Royal Commission on the NHS).
In addition, the Health and Care Systems SIG supports, where appropriate, liaison with other bodies such as the EURO Working Group on Health Services and the Medical Specialists’ Group of the British Computer Society.
